[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has just released another Rory McIlroy PGA Tour trailer. This one features Chambers Bay, home of the 2015 U.S. Open.

If you missed it, check out the roster and courses available in the game here and our hands-on impressions from E3 here.

The sad thing is this is the most footage we've seen since the game has been announced. And FINALLY, other golfers will play along side you it looks like.

The animations are so poor and robotic and every golfer has the same swing? Smfh

I was just about to say, those swing animations are pretty choppy and completely lack rhythm. Although, in the game's defense, if you are controlling the swing w/ an analog input, perhaps it's just a reflection of what the stick inputs are? Anyway, EA's games always look fantastic in still photos, but almost invariably look much worse in motion (see: every "Madden" ever).

I watched the trailer again. I think the issue is the swing is stopping right at the top of the backswing for a split second, and that seems to throw the look of the swing off, whether these players are user controlled or not, it definetly is an eye sore. The player teaser showed none of that and were silky smooth just like in real life. As for swings looking the same, despite a few odd balls (I.e furyk) most swings are generally the same.

I just want to see a foursome play 3 holes to completion.

What's with the hitch at the top of everyone's swing? Is everybody Hideki Matsuyama now?

edit: loo, got beaten to it...

It's the new graphics engine. They'll iron it out by 2018.
